I’ve got 2 older Ranch models in stainless. As long as you know their limitations they’re quite useful. Ours are SHTF rifles, inside 150 yards or so.
Fun to shoot, fer sher.

If I were to give advice, and nobody asked so you get what you pay for, I would suggest to get one of the few Saiga IZ-240’s that are left out there ( in 5.45x39) with the chrome lined, hammer forged barrel, convert it with a Tapco trigger, Hogue rubber pistol grip, folding stock, several Circle 21 30 round magazines and a couple tins of 7n6 ammo...
You will pay less overall, have a gun that is indestructible, accurate, no recoil, and lasts forever.
